See Kai Run and Walk!

One of the biggest milestones that parents wait for are those first steps. Those cute little wobbly steps usually taken in some carefully selected and adorable shoes! You wait to see them walk and then, before you know it, they are running all over the place! However, did you know that babies can learn how to walk just as well and sometimes, even better without big heavy shoes?

With all my kids, I encouraged bare feet walking and running at home. For parks, I would first check if there are any thorns or stones which might hurt them. If it was safe, it meant bare feet. It’s better for feet development.

We’ve never used these shoes, but they certainly look interesting. In fact, I opt for barefooted babies until they walk pretty well on their own. Turtle Boy has actually started walking and I love to see him walking with his arms up and out in the air as of he’s, too, proud of his accomplishment. 🙂

I remember buying someone else’s kid a pair and those shoes up there are just adorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy two pairs for another friend’s little one, baby steps are the foundation of their initial growth!
